While folding a batch of freshly laundered clothes from my screwed up family I discovered a few things:
~ My brother still wears the boxers his ex gave him....
~ The have Spoungebob SquarePants on them with weird hearts...(valentines day)
~ He also wears the shirt she gave him....(christmas) just a plain spoungebob one...
~ He wears all of my father's old clothes.....
~ I have some how managed to loose all my socks....now I just have unmated ones...:(

What really odd things have you discovered while doing laundry?
:devil:

Do laundry?

You mean it doesn't just take care of itself?

Damn, that means my wife was right! :p
 
I discovered from undies he left in the dryer that my roommate has less-than-optimal sphincter control.

No one tell him about the dishes.

Edited because it's gone now. :(
 
All of my husband's socks have holes in them....rather large holes. I guess being single was really frustrating for him!

we've been married a year now, I think i should buy him new socks............
 
i like it when i find money that wife forgets to take out of her pocket lol
i have rule if it goes through the laundry it is mine. Its like finding change in the couch but we hardly sit there so useless lol

or learn how to darn them....pretty easy to learn.
 
another thing....
Dad's undies and my brother's undies...(tighty whites)
Look exactly the same.....o.0;
Soo...do I group them together and let them fight over 'em?

EEWWWWWWWWW!!! Yes, I've had to deal with...the "tolietpaper is for girls" undies...*shivers* YUCK
 
these are holes the size of a dinner plate! I'm just gonna roll over to Wal-mart........besides, I'm a modern woman. If I can schedule someone to do it for me on my palmpilot/phone, maybe i can work it in. Otherwise, I'm too busy.

He refered to it as a "racing stripe". As in, he was in a race with the devil to get to a bathroom, and lost.

I'm glad you think so. I understand the theory but attempted practical application of the theory results in lumpy socks for me.

Can I send all my "religious socks" to you for repairs?

I've learned that even though the red tops of my boot socks don't bleed and turn the white part of the socks pink, they will turn all of my underwear pink.
 
we used to do the If it goes through the laundry it's free game. Until my 10 year old found my wife's $50 and didnt' give it back for a week. boy were they both pissed.

Throw them away, but quietly! Men get really upset if they figure out there worn out clothing is gone. Then buy new ones, chances are he won't notice.

My mother's favorite solution is to toss "religious" socks in the fireplace -- preferably when there's a nice hot fire burning.


Another thing I've learned while doing laundry: buying new underwear takes less time than washing the old underwear. If you're doing laundry at a laundromat, it's very nearly cheaper as well.

What about the dishes?:confused:



Nothing! Nothing at all! And don't even think about how your dinner gets on the table! Wouldn't want to completely disallusion you in one day.

Darning socks isn't dyeing them....you sew the worn spots..

(blah i can't spell!!!)

I'm sure it's just my imagination, but I have had many experiences where I put things in the wash and they never come out. This is especially true of socks. I'm sure a complete pair goes in, but only one comes out. If the government can spend thousands of dollars on toilet seats, maybe they can investigate this phenomenon, and solve the mystery. The Burmuda Triangle doesn't exist in the spin cycle, does it?

Gross, lol

We call those 'skid marks' this end of the world.

Why is it men only have skid marks and not women??????

I disagree with the premise. I have lived with a woman who had lots of skid marks.
 
I've discovered that my son liked to keep fruit loops in his overall pockets and inside his diaper shirt... as for "skid marks", women do leave them too... I made the mistake of doing my sister's laundry once.
